This document provides information about earthquakes and tsunamis. It defines key earthquake terms like focus, epicenter, and magnitude. Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates. Different types of seismic waves transmit energy from the earthquake. Mitigation aims to reduce vulnerability, while management coordinates disaster response. The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake triggered a tsunami that caused widespread damage. A 2015 Nepal earthquake also had devastating impacts due to its shallow depth and location near Kathmandu.
